With ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, Fumito Ueda has shown that video games could be a great way of expression for all creation of purely artistic and poetic. About leaving his creative genius and sensibility, the man realized how upset the players by instilling in his works an emotion that can resonate in the heart of all of us. To prepare for the providential arrival of The Last Guardian, his new project, Fumito Ueda invites us to pay their last respects to these two icons of gaming.
We've worked out which remaster collections are the best of the best.
Should players quell their expectations to avoid being let down?
Like ICO and SOTC before them, there is much you will unlearn during your time with the game, the formula used hasn't changed, it's a game you'll play alone, probably late at night, finish at some point in the morning and have a very fresh view point after finishing, very much like SOTC before it.
That's my gut feeling, stay away from footage, pictures, reviews etc. You won't see another game of this nature for at least another 10 years, enjoy it.
Don't over hype things then, just take them as they come. Nothing will ever live up to your expectations when you raise them so high.
Bloody hell. Just think of it as a 3D platform environmental puzzler or something like that. That's it. Just a type of puzzle game using environments to give you challenges and a big flying dog. Don't be one of those stupid fools thinking anything else. I enjoyed No Man's Sky, because I never hyped it up to be anything it wasn't. Don't be a stupid person. That's the only advice I can give. If you even have to think about this, then you are already headed for disappointment. The seeds have been planted. You're doomed.
Favourite video game boss fights for me are in The Shadow of the Colossus, very few other games have such good boss fight design.
I'd probably go with Terra's Armor from KH2 FM. The very assence of overpowered superboss, even Sephiroth can't put a finger on him... or rather it.
I thought the Storm King fight in Demon's Souls using the Storm Ruler Sword was effing awesome.
Game of the year right here !! ;)
19 / 20 = 95 / 100
19/20 is the real rating.
Changing the rating because it's wrong.
